Within 24 hours, ALL fish smells, just vanished, it's like magic!
It will make a big difference to our food safety and operations.
Thank you Airiel.
Later, Sarah reported that not only had the stink and flies massively reduced - the workers felt so much better and had much less eye and nasal irritation.

Royal Gala: With and without 1-MCP (10 months)
The case study was conducted over 10 months.
Experimental Group: Untreated Royal Gala Apples in cold room with an XtendaMaX device.
Controlled Group: 1-MCP treated Royal Gala Apples in cold room.
At 8 months of storage, both groups of apples looked the same.
At 10 months storage, the 1-MCP apples were noticeably softer and apples with original damage or sunburn spots looked visibly worse to those in the XtendaMaX experimental group.
XtendaMaX experimental group remained in much better fresh condition. Exceeding taste and other qualities of those with 1-MCP treatment.
In addition, the cold room with XtendaMaX had much less mould on the walls.

1-MCP or 1-Methylcyclopropene is a cyclopropane derivative used as a synthetic plant growth regulator and used commercially to slow down the ripening of fruit.Key findings
Key findings
Destroys airborne mould and fungal spores
Destroys airborne ethylene
